Demolition & Construction Method Statement

The following has been prepared as part of the planning submission as detailed below:

Programme

The planned programme of works is included within Appendix 1.

Within appendix 4 we enclose site phasing diagrams indicating the following:

• Site entrance.

• Site Accommodation/Compound.

• Academy/Construction Vehicular access (No Pedestrian Access to School)

• Material and plant storage areas.

• Sequence of decant by the school.

• Sequence of demolition.

• Sequence of Construction.

Considerate Constructor Scheme

The project will be registered and audited against the above scheme. As part of the CCS protocol we will undertake regular contact with the local residents through regular newsletter advising of site activities. In

addition contact numbers will be displayed at the site entrance to provide residents with means to contact the project management team should the need arise.

In addition Balfour Beatty Construction Northern Limited are an environmentally accredited company to ISO14001 and will operate a full environmental management system for the project.

Dust Suppression Measures

In terms of avoidance of prevention of dust nuisance measures we will work in accordance with the ‘CIRIA Environmental good practice site guide’. Attached is the Balfour Beatty Environmental Standard for

Nuisance Prevention – Appendix 2.

In terms of the monitoring of dust nuisance issues site activities will be monitored as a minimum weekly through the Environmental Coordinators check sheet. Any issues noted during these inspections will be

subject to immediate corrective actions.

Our approach to the project will be to install base coat tarmacadam at the earliest practical opportunity which will be kept clean an free from dust accumulation with vacuum road sweepers.

Noise Suppression Measures

In terms of noise suppression we will work in accordance with Ciria’s Environmental Good Practice site guide. In each instance selection of lower noise methods and plant will be the first mitigation. Beyond this

we will ensure that static plant is located away from sensitive receptors and locally screened to reduce noise nuisance. In selecting our main compound location we have chosen a position with our site boundary

that provides the greatest distance from adjoining properties.

Working Hours

It is intended that the working hours will be 07.30-19.00 hours Monday- Friday. Due to the nature of maintaining a live school it will be necessary to extend these hours, to perform such activities as diversions.

The option of working Saturday 07.30-16.00 and Sunday 07.30-14.00 would also be requested for added opportunity to perform key interface works, within the school

Material Storage

These will be stored within the secure compound area.

Waste

Waste will be segregated on site into various skips ie metal, timber, plasterboard. Attached is the Balfour Beatty Environmental Standard for Project Start Up Controls – Appendix 3.

Vibro-Piling Operations

Piling is programmed to commence in week 29 and continue for 4 weeks.

Due to the nature of the build, the vibro-piling operation will be screened by the remaining school buildings. No activity will take place outside of the working hours requested to avoid nuisance.

Fire

This will be developed in the Project Management Plan (PMP), with the

Fire Risk Assessment.
